The guides are so enthusiastic and fun throughout the hour long trip. We saw more than we would have without using the rickshaws. They guided us through the nearby shrine at the beginning, up a hill to a beautiful garden ending at the market. I highly recommend.

娘の誕生日記念旅行で宮島に来ました。とても暑かったので、厳島神社だけ見て帰る予定でしたが、稲ちゃんのおしつけがましくないおすすめに、乗った事のない娘の記念になればと利用させて頂きました。暑い中、しんどそうな顔ひとつ見せず自分では絶対に行くことの出来ない箇所を回ってもらい、写真まで撮って頂きました。中でもまさかの鹿のフレームインには娘も大喜びでした。利用してホントに良かったです。

乗り心地も快適で、歩いて見る景色とはまた違う楽しみ方ができて非常に良かったです。自分の足だけでは気づかない場所、知らない場所もたくさんあったので感激しました✨解説もわかりやすく広島県民ながらも知らないことがまだまだあるなぁと、 すごく大満足の旅ができました✨ 担当の方もお話上手で、分からないこと困ってることを尋ねたら快く対応してくださり、心身ともに居心地が良くて降りたくないくらいでした。 素敵な旅をありがとうございました。また是非利用させていただきます。
